hi, i'm maliha. among other things, i'm an illustrator from karachi, now based in toronto.

i draw people, food and things from everyday life, plus the stuff swimming around in my head. i love how drawing is a way to play with ideas that are silly or serious (or both). it’s how i slow down, daydream, and learn more about things.

i mostly make handmade pen & ink drawings but i also work with paint and pencil, lino prints, digital drawings and animations, depending on the project. follow along on my instagram.

i made a book! it’s called it’s OK to be sad. illuminated press published a limited edition and we launched it in new york in june 2022.

find my work at bazaar (306 college street) and savile studio & market (173 roncesvalles ave) in toronto!
